    Country Garden's entire offshore debt to be in default if Tuesday payment not made
    Country Garden's entire offshore debt will be deemed to be in default if China's largest property developer fails to make a $15 million coupon payment on Tuesday, the end of a 30-day grace period.Non-payment of this tranche is set to trigger cross defaults in other bonds as is standard in bond contracts. Lack of payment - which is expected after Country Garden last week warned about its inability to meet offshore debt obligations - would make the firm the latest in scores of Chinese developers who have defaulted. Country Garden has also missed other offshore payments in the past few weeks though those payments still have not seen their 30-day grace periods lapse.  ( 32 min )

    What Google’s antitrust trial means for your search habits
    If government regulators prevail against Google in the biggest U.S. antitrust trial in a quarter century, it's likely to unleash drastic changes that will undermine the dominance of a search engine that defines the internet for billions of people.

    SPAC returns remaining $533 million raise for Trump social media deal
    Digital World Acquisition Corp (DWAC), the blank-check acquisition company that plans to merge with former U.S. President Donald Trump's social media firm, said on Thursday it would return to investors $533 million raised for a cash infusion in the deal, after some already backtracked on another $467 million of commitments. The development is the nail in the coffin of the $1 billion investment that DWAC had raised for the merger with Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), which runs the Truth Social platform. It raises further doubts about whether the former U.S. president will go ahead with the deal, now that TMTG no longer stands to receive $1 billion if and when it closes.  ( 32 min )

The award to Sheffield, who helped found the shale producer over two decades ago and was slated to retire at the end of 2023, represents a sum worth three times his base salary as well as all his pending equity awards for performance.  ( 33 min )

    Donald Trump’s financial statements were key to getting loans, ex-bank official tells fraud trial
    Donald Trump obtained hundreds of millions of dollars in loans using financial statements that a court has since deemed fraudulent, a retired bank official testified Wednesday at the former president’s New York civil fraud trial. Trump’s statements of financial condition were key to his approval for a $125 million loan in 2011 for his Doral, Florida, golf resort and a $107 million loan in 2012 for his Chicago hotel and condo skyscraper, former Deutsche Bank risk management officer Nicholas Haigh testified. A judge last month ruled that Trump and his company, the Trump Organization, committed years of fraud by exaggerating the value of Trump’s assets and net worth on the financial statements he gave to banks, insurers and others to make deals and secure loans.  ( 33 min )

    World's biggest bond markets hit by relentless selling

A growing sense that interest rates in major economies will stay higher for longer to contain inflation, ever resilient U.S. economic data and a sharp unwinding of traders' positions for a bond rally have hit hard. In the U.S. Treasury market -- considered the bedrock of the global financial system -- 10-year yields have soared almost 30 basis points (bps) to 4.8% this week alone, and are up almost 100 bps this year, having jumped over 200 bps in 2022.  ( 32 min )

    US judge refuses to overturn Exxon permit denial to truck crude oil in California
    A U.S. judge on Wednesday refused to overturn a California county's decision to block Exxon Mobil Corp from using tanker trucks to ship crude oil from coastal facilities to inland refineries while a ruptured pipeline is fixed. U.S. District Judge Dolly Gee in Los Angeles denied Exxon's bid to reverse the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors' denial of a trucking permit in early 2022, saying the board's decision was substantially supported by evidence that transporting crude oil by tanker trucks could present safety concerns on state highways. Gee ruled that while Exxon has a right to operate its offshore oil platforms and related infrastructure in the area, it does not have a vested or fundamental right to use trucks to transport its crude while the pipeline system is fixed.  ( 33 min )

    Fed's Kashkari: 40% chance of needing 'meaningfully' higher rates
    A "soft landing" for the U.S. economy is more likely than not, Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank President Neel Kashkari said on Tuesday, but there is also a 40% chance that the Fed will need to raise interest rates "meaningfully" to beat inflation. Under the more likely scenario -- Kashkari pegged the probability at about 60% -- the Fed "potentially" raises rates one more quarter of a percentage point and then holds borrowing costs steady "long enough to bring inflation back to target in a reasonable period of time," he said in an essay published on the regional Fed bank's website. Inflation by the Fed's preferred measure has dropped from 7% last summer to 3.3% this past July, and U.S. unemployment has only ticked up a bit, reaching 3.8% at last read.  ( 31 min )

    U.S. stock prices near level for 'mechanical selling' - Nomura's McElligott
    The latest leg lower in U.S. stock prices has put them in a danger zone that could trigger so-called "mechanical selling" pressure and accelerate a downside move, according to Nomura strategist Charlie McElligott.

    NextEra workers roll the dice with big bet on company stock
    NextEra Energy's $5.4 billion retirement plan for employees has suffered about half a billion dollars in losses this year as outsized bets on company stock soured, reflecting ongoing risks of corporate 401(k) policies that encourage concentrated positions in company shares.

    The U.S. Federal Reserve held interest rates steady on Wednesday but stiffened its hawkish stance, with a further rate increase projected by the end of the year and monetary policy kept significantly tighter through 2024 than previously expected. As they did in June, Fed policymakers at the median still see the central bank's benchmark overnight interest rate peaking this year in the 5.50%-5.75% range, just a quarter of a percentage point above the current range. But from there the Fed's updated quarterly projections show rates falling only half a percentage point in 2024 compared to the full percentage point of cuts anticipated at the meeting in June.  ( 33 min )
